Baylor guard Brady Heslip, who underwent an emergency appendectomy on Nov. 20, is back in the lineup Saturday as the Bears play at No. 8 Kentucky.

Heslip, one of the premier shooters in the country, is certain to enhance a Baylor team that fell out of the top 25 after losing to Colorado and the College of Charleston.

Baylor is attempting to break Kentucky’s 55-game home winning streak. In fact, the Wildcats haven’t lost at home under John Calipari.

"Eventually someone's going to win there and you'd like it to be you," Baylor coach Scott Drew said.

Having Heslip back in the lineup should help in that quest. He missed the game against Charleston last weekend, and the Bears hit only 4-of-17 3-point attempts. Heslip is a career 44.5 percent 3-point shooter.
